PREFACE
The field of business professional study is incomplete without practical knowledge. Therefore, summer training program is designed to provide a glimpse of real work environment of organization. These real life situations are entirely different from the simulated exercises in all artificial environments inside the classroom. This fact consolidates the session of summer training in MBA curriculum. Training can be described as a planned process to modify attitude, knowledge or skill behaviour through learning experience to achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities. In order to achieve practical positive and concert results, the classroom had to be effectively wedded to the realities of the situation existing outside the classroom to develop managerial and administrative skills.

The project has been written in simple words to explain the competition in real life situations. I expect that this work will be helpful for managers of Tata Teleservices Limited.

Introduction to The Organisation

Introduction:The Tata Group is one of Indias oldest, largest and most respected business conglomerates. The Tata Group is a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India. In terms of market capitalization and revenues, Tata Group is the largest private company in India. It has interests in Steel, Automobiles, Information Technology, Communication, Power, Tea and Hotels.

The major companied in the Group include Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Tea, Indian Hotels and Tata Communications. The Groups major companies are beginning to be counted globally. Tata Steel became the sixth largest steel maker in the world after it acquired Corus. Tata Motors is among the top five commercial vehicle manufacturers in the world and has recently acquired Jaguar and Land Rover. TCS is a leading global software company, with delivery centres in US, UK, Hungary, Brazil, Uruguay and China besides India. Tata

Tea Is second largest branded tea company in the world, through its UK based subsidiary Tetley. Tata Chemicals is the worlds second largest manufacturer of soda ash. Tata Communications is one of the worlds largest wholesale voice carriers. In tandem with the increasing international footprint of its companies, the Group is also gaining international recognition. Brand Finance, a UK based consultancy firm, recently valued the Tata brand at $11.4 billion and ranked it 57th amongst the Top 100 brands in the world. Businessweek ranked the Group sixth amongst the Worlds Most Innovative Companies and the Reputation Institute, USA, recently rated it as the Worlds Sixth Most Reputed Firm. Founded by Jamsetji Tata in 1868, the Tata Groups early years were inspired by the spirit of nationalism. The Group pioneered several industries of national importance in India: steel, power, hospitality and airlines. In more recent times, the Tata Groups pioneering spirit has been showcased by companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Indias first software company, which pioneered international delivery model, and Tata Motors, which made Indias first indigenously developed car, the Indica, in 1998 and recently unveiled the worlds lowest cost car, the Tata Nano, for commercial launch by end of 2008.

The Tata Group has always believed in returning wealth to the society it serves. Two thirds of the equity of Tata Sons, the Tata Groups promoter company, is held by philanthropic trusts which have created national institutions in science and technology, medical research, social studies and the performing arts. The trusts also provide aid and assistance to NGOs in the areas of education, to communities around their industrial units. The combined development related expenditure of the trusts and the companies amounts to around 4% of the Groups net profits.

Going forward, the Group is focusing on new technologies and innovation to drive its business in India and internationally. The Nano car is one example, as is the Eka supercomputer, which in 2008 is ranked the worlds fourth fastest. The Group aims to build a series of world class, world scale businesses in select sectors. Anchored in India and wedded to its traditional values and strong ethics, the Group is building a multinational business which will achieve growth through excellence and innovation, while balancing the interests of its shareholders, its employees and wider society.

The business operations of the Tata Group currently encompass seven business sectors: communication and information technology, engineering, materials, services, energy, consumer products and chemicals.
